Some interesting matchups. I do think Neshaminy got a good draw for round 1 after the disappointment of not getting the home game. Souderton / PW should be a great game. If Souderton can continue to both run the ball and throw it around, they're a very tough out.

CB West gets their 7th playoff rematch game since 2021. They're healthier than when they played Pennsbury the first time, so that bodes well for West. They looked very good offensively last week against East, who attempted to just take the air out of the ball from the very start of the game. East did some odd things defensively and got their only stop of the game when West stopped themselves by committing three straight penalties, including a 15 yarder. West took a knee on the East 1 yard line to end the game when the JV squad appeared to score on a 42 yard run against the East varsity, but the back was ruled out at the one. I didn't see the full stats but I'm sure West ran for over 350. West will avoid South unless both teams make it to the final. They've got a lot of their momentum back heading into the playoffs and are the healthiest they've been in a long time. They still have three backups playing on the offensive line, and I'm not sure that's changing, but they haven't missed a beat, with some big rushing numbers as of late. Clemens continues to look stronger every week, and QB Noah Miller continues to break long runs to balance out Clemens. Having Morelli and McGowan back in the lineup has given them their outside speed back and lets them stretch the field again. (McGowan had almost 100 yards on 5 touches with 2 TDs last week.)

With three of the four top seeds coming from the SOL, it's interesting to note that the three games between them were all one score games. If you want a reason to be optimistic as a CB South fan, you just ran the table in a year the second and third place in the SOL National made the top 4 also. If you want to be pessimistic, their margin for error seems to be much smaller this year, with a miracle win over West, a 12-7 win over Pennsbury and only scoring 14 against North Penn. The QB Pinkerton is carrying the O and so as he goes, so goes South.

Having Coatesville and Dtown East lurking as low seeds is keeping some coaches up at night...

CB West over NP 17-14
DWest over DEast 14-13

Does anyone know if the Downingtown West/ CB West will be live streamed anywhere ?? Thanks
 
Not sure about streaming, but Kottmeyer is one of the best venues for high school football. No track, so the action is really close.

Going to be sloppy, so ball security even more critical. DWest DEs playing really well and that needs to continue tonight in order to slow down the Knights.

If there is rain during the game, to me the advantage goes to NP. (It'll be cold regardless.) They are comfortable under center with a heavy package, have a very solid, speedy back, and a good play action game. Dtown West's main back is playing with a club on one hand. Beck loves to play man and stack the box if it's tough throwing conditions. Slight edge to NP at the QB position, but not enough that I think that swings the game. More likely it'll be decided by turnovers / special teams like the semi-final games especially if the rain continues at game time. Dtown West will have a size advantage. TE is 6'3 220, DE Sinkus is 6'4 230, big receiver Weller is 6'4 190, etc...

Both teams have played in their fair share of physical games, maybe a slight edge to NP having seen a few more physical teams. Even matchup overall in my opinion.
 
14-10 DTW at the half. DTW got into a rhythm on their last drive, neither team really seemed in an offensive groove until then. NP has had DTW out-gapped when they are in 23 pers but haven't stuck with it. Not protecting Bucksar too well in the pocket either so Beck has had to roll him out. DTW will receive in the second half, and much like the CBW game, NP needs a stop to start the half.

DTW with much more success on the ground than against CBW, but you kind of expected that.
 
21-16 after an exchange of TDs. NP gets a break when their punt hits a DTW player but two point conversion fails and we head to the 4th. NP struggling to stop the run.
 
35-16 final. Sloppy second half with two fumbles by NP including a strip sack TD in their end zone. Couldn’t stop the run. Nice playoff run by North Penn to get to the final but DTW was clearly the better team. The other two SOL teams watching at home and wondering what might have been.
 
Where will be the site for next week's mercy rule in the eastern final?
 
Back and forth game early, but West was able to pull away late. Sack and fumble recovery in end zone really sunk the ship.

West D really handled the NP O tonight. NP gifted the ball on 14 and 13 yl on their two TDs.

29 is a solid player.

It’s now 4 consecutive years that CB West has lost in the playoffs to the eventual champion. If they could keep their players on the field, I’m pretty confident they’d have won at least 1 of the last two.
